Before I left for deployment, I recorded one of those books. My son wanted to listen to it every night.

I have a daughter. She's with her mom for the next week and I am bawling. Thanks.

This could always give you a little idea for a future gift when you two are apart.

Does this mean she'll think her dad is a bear?

Totally what I thought. "The day my dad turned into a stuffed bear"

There was no mention of those damned onions!!

My dad did this for my little sister when he went to fight in Afghanistan so that she'd remember his voice.

She's going to keep the bear forever now

Why I'm leaving the military. I can't do this. Not strong enough.
walkingtallmachinegunman
You're not really leaving anything behind. Every year the military seems to get a little bit worse and more buerocratic. Go raise your kids
MrBananaBeak
Hell yeah, brother. They try to get ya by scaring you with the unknown of the civilian world. Fuck that.
walkingtallmachinegunman
Exactly, fuck that shit. I didn't join as a 17yo split op, I've been a civilian, I know what it's like out there.
MrBananaBeak
I did. This is all I've ever known, and they've been trying to use that against me for the last six months. All it did was push me further.
walkingtallmachinegunman
Dude its different but no harder than the military and generally less stressful. Thats also what ACAPing (or branch equivalence) is for.
walkingtallmachinegunman
They're basically forcing stockholm syndrome.

Gonna go call my dad right now so I can hear his voice and then I'm gonna buy a plane ticket so I can hug him!

Lucky duck. You do that and give him an extra big hug for me!

I want an update. please do it.

You better do it. BE A PERSON OF YOUR WORD

Hey, do you have extra money so I can get a plane ticket?
steviedrawsdinos
I wish I could do this. I see my parents once a year at most.. I miss them a lot.
Redenbacher09
Please do! I know now that I should have spent more time with him while I could.
NoxxiGreenrose
Gonna call my dad- oh wait I don't have one. Alcohol was more important for him than me.
Gayforbae
Way to be a downer.
waterdemigod
This idea excited, and inspired me to contact my dad, only to be reminded he's on an extended trip to a camp where dads romp, and play
butterbunns
My dad wasn't military but use to worked away when I was little. The day he came home and I didn't recognise him he quit his job
butterbunns
he went to uni to be a teacher. we lived by the skin of our teeth for 4 years with 2 kids by the 2nd year. Us kids didnt know otherwise 1/2
butterbunns
though because we were alway happy and playing with dad. he still a teacher now and we get along great! So proud of him and mum 2/2
Fachera
Same here, dad was away months at the time and he said that was the worst thing that he ever experienced. Couldn't afford to quit tho :/
LadyWidebottom
Half of me wishes my dad did that when I was a kid. Your dad did a good thing for you, I hope it paid off well for you both.
DarthFluffyBottom
I know the feel. Dad was a translator at construction sites in Russia. Was away damn lot. After retirement, truly get to know him.
TheGamingBaconator
My dad was a truck driver for most of my childhood(He got into a wreck in 2010 and now he's got back problems and a bad arm) 1/2
TheGamingBaconator
and I started a bit of a tradition back when I was around...6 or 7 where, whenever I would hear that he was a few hours from getting 2/2
TheGamingBaconator
3/2 home, I would play Alabama's "Roll On" until he got home. I get a warm feeling whenever i listen to the song today.
Happypillsforeveryone
That's adorable but heartbreaking to watch
squishcat
I couldn't watch it 3 seconds in.
Mayralejandraaaa
Seriously, all i could think of is what if he doesnt come back and thats all she has? :'(
finallystoppedlurkingonimgur
Thats not going to happen. But, at least she has that.
yellowtoolboxblackbag
After the initial smile, I had to wonder... what if he doesn't make it back?
TheFakeCraigFerguson
I had that thought too. Like, what if that beat becomes hey greatest treasure because it's got his voice on it? Why did I have to think that
yellowtoolboxblackbag
Scifi 3000: She goes on to recreate her dad, just from that voice print!
PrisAustin
YES!! My fucking thoughts exactly!!! HE BETTER COME BACK...
tinyvee
Now why'd you have to go and jinx it
yellowtoolboxblackbag
Now, now. For all you know, I just broke the jinx.
JiffyDealer
Ahh... the feels! Such a good father, kudos. I'm so glad I had waited until after I got out to have kids. Can't imagine that separation.
lyricbaritone
As good a father can be, when they've voluntarily left their family for months at a time to go kill people/ help soldiers kill people
shorey66
You're a dick head. Let's hope we never go to war and your ass gets drafted.
plebianmaximus
My heart just broke -.- tears everywhere.
Chrisxedge
As a fireman, getting home and seeing my daughter is the equivalent to staying the night at your best friends house when you're 7.
Smilinnoir
I hear ya. I loved the army but got out when my boy got here.
WorkerLurker
I'm just hoping he gets home
crayon98
While I massively love and respect my father for serving through all of my life, I'll never ever work away from my kids. It's heartbreaking
TheBlueGenie
This works for anyone not deployed as well but those who travel to remote locations for months at a time to bring in an income
IonlycommentTroyandAbedgifs
hell it's hard for me to leave for work every morning for that reason but the best feeling is coming home to screams of dada and giant hugs
yankeeairpirate
It sucks. I just told my kids I'm going to retire next year and they don't care about anything other than "no more deployments!"
HenryHugglemonster
Me too, I was IRR and 3 days before I was going to get back in I found out I was pregnant. So lucky, I couldn't handle separation.
serialkillazjungle
Omigod that is genuinely adorable. Absolutely beautiful.
NyxArterian
Yeah being deployed sucks a lot for those with family, that's why my father tried 6 months max, almost missed the birth of my little sister
NarutoSexyJutsu
Exactly why my husband and I are waiting until he's out.
Dumbstatz
I'm nervous if we do that i'll be older than i wanted to start having kids. But i really want him to be around when they are growing up.
NarutoSexyJutsu
That's a tough spot. We're pretty young and I'll be 26 weeks away from 27 when he gets out. But that's later than what I wanted as well
Dumbstatz
I'd be over 30 :/
ILiveUnderARock
Plot twist: he meant out of prison.
craaaaaaaaaaaaig
Brutal
carrotsoup
mOooOmm!!?
Thund3rbolt
It must be one of the hardest things about being deployed when you're so far away from your kids
kdm36
Dont get in the army and risk your child growing up without father....simple

Got on shore duty b4 starting family.

SupercalifragilisticexpialidociousShenanigans
My dad went when we were older. Was gaurd close to retirement and didn't have to go with his unit. He asked for my permission to be gone 1/2
SupercalifragilisticexpialidociousShenanigans
For my birthday. I remember writing down the plane # he left on... And his voice cracking introducing me to a reporter when he got home 2/2
yankeeairpirate
I record a bunch of stuff for my girls before I deploy and keep a journal just in case something happens. At least they'd have that.
PriestofThor
It is. It fucking is
HaydenZimmerman
My dad was airforce for 25 years and I'm 20. He's been gone half of my life due to deployments. I remember when I was younger (7-8) I caught
HaydenZimmerman
Wind that he was shipping out again. And I remember telling at him that " I didn't want him to go again why can't you just stay here".
mozzaru
God that must've made it tougher
HaydenZimmerman
I was a pretty smart kid. So he sat me down and just kinda explained that it was his job and that he'd be home in 6 months. I got it it just
HaydenZimmerman
Sucked ass. He sent me a bunch of cool shit from the base he was on in Iraq though so that's a plus
Mayralejandraaaa
Damn, at least he made it all of those years tho right?
HaydenZimmerman
He had a pretty chill job over there as far as it goes. He mostly worked in the prisons. Never got into any bad fire fighting.
HaydenZimmerman
But yeah any day you get to wake up is a day won so I'll call it a win that he's still alive. ????????
lilpinkoctopuss
This comment didn't make me teary eyed, that'd be gay
SuburbanMeerkat
Not really, but this kinda is

Nah bro, its only gay if balls touch

toxius
Damn dude I know the feeling. I'm 24 and my dad was in the navy for 21 or 22 yrs. Out to sea every few months and it sucked hardcore.
HaydenZimmerman
I feel like. Helped me develop as a person though. Like I was always way more self reliable than most of my peers
